One from Germany
My German is a little rusty. This knife resembles
my first"switchblade", but many years ago. It had the same release mechanism and it was imported, but I cannot recall the manufacturer. You are fortunate, however, to have some European experts on hand. Try smilingknife or paknives for input.

I believe that GARANTIE is French for Guarantee, perhaps this is a French knife purchased in Germany. Cool Knife .

JOE62,
I got to thinking (burning sensation ) and I remembered a David Everts (now owned by Parker?) in Germany. So I looked them up in Levine's Guide. Mark is listed as DES, with crossed flags. Now, I know there are no flags, and it's not marked with a country of origin...maybe it wasn't produced for export.
Or, maybe the French angle mentioned above has merit...it does look a bit like a Lagioule styled knife.
Just some random thoughts...are there any other kind??

1932 German Mussolini Commemorative knife
Hi.
I was just wondering if anyone here knows anything about this knife. It is dated 1932 on the tang. It is apparently a 10 year commemorative knife of Mussolini's rise to power in Italy. The scales appear to be either aluminum or pewter. It is just about mint and appears to be unsharpened. Picked it up in a knife shop "junkbox". Any idea as to value?

Some nice pieces there MOSSDANCER.
It looked like you were asking about the small fluted handle knife??
If so, it is a friction folder...made in a style similar to a razor. There is an A.J. Jordan listed in Levine's Guide as a Wholesaler/Manufacturer of English and German cutlery, once (1871-1929) located in St. Louis.
Oh...if you weren't asking a question...please ignore the meaningless drivel.

9ball,
I remember when that knife once spawned an unusual thread at Bernard Levine's forum...

I'm not so sure about the humor, but it was different.

Hello Bill
He could be right. These were some of the first Fight'n Roosters knives put out, if I remember correctly. There was only a handful of these patterns made. Back then the tang stamps were only a fancy SOLINGEN. I was talking with a German guy from the factory at the Blade Show when it was in Knoxville, TN one year and he told me in the beginning they were trying to get out anything that had a tang stamp on it.
Then came the pre' 83 tang stamps
Thanks for the info/link

There are so many nice knives on display it's almost embarassing at times to show my measley pics but here is my newest German addition. This is a 1986 German Eye 3 blade trapper that I have been wanting to get my hands on for a while but could not find one that was a good deal.
I am very happy to have gotten this because one of my favorite things to collect as far as knives are concerned are 3 & 5 bladed trappers and this one was purchased for $36.00 compared to the $177.00 one sold for just like it a while back...

“The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways”
Thank you Gentlemen...Even a Blind Squirrel finds a nut sometimes
What really happened is the seller had it listed in Case knives and called it a beast and when folks went to look at a Case Beast they found this instead. I just lucked up on it by viewing the sellers other items and could not believe the price I got it for...I was all giddy and stupid over the great deal I got (My wife thinks I am nut).
Thanks,
